:eek: Today’s the last day until my manager comes back from vacation, so my group decided to go out for Mexican. Suffice it to say they had a “buy two, get one free” special on Sol beer (knock-off of Corona). It’s going to be an interesting afternoon. Luckily I’m getting a ride home. ---

How the hell do people function at work buzzed? I used to go to a Mexican place with a group who would always have two margaritas a person with lunch. They finally convinced me to join them the day of the office party, and I figured “hey, I’m getting out an hour after lunch today, and will be drinking then anyway, why not?” Man, I was so beat for that hour, I barely stayed awake. Nope, can’t figure out how people do that. ---

I used to do it all the time…mostly with the boss! You just have to plan to do the really hard, important stuff in the AM. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by blur \* > **How the hell do people function at work buzzed?** I don’t. I have nothing to do, and my manager’s away, so I don’t even have to pretend to work. Besides, I’m no longer buzzed. ---

Happy 1500! I agree- I can drink and go back to work. It’s just that I tend not to do much work once I get back. Ah, the solace of the internet. . . 😉 ---

Cripes. And here I thought it was going to be a bird poop tale. This is much better, IMHO. :: hiccup :: ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by scott evil \* > \*\* Besides, I’m no longer buzzed. \*\* I hate that feeling of the euphoria slowly draining away. If I’m going to do any serious drinking, I do it later in the evening, so I can just fall into bed while still tipsy. Yeah, my idea of “serious” drinking nowadays leaves me only tipsy. Wanna make something of it? ---
